More than seven days in Peru
Do you need an emotional, mental, physical or spiritual reset? Are you looking for a safe space to have this experience with like-minded individuals? Welcome to the Sacred Ayahuasca Retreat in Peru.
This experience starts with weeks of guided lifestyle review, diet changes, and virtual prep meetings. Then disconnect from your daily routine to reconnect with nature and your deepest self during several days of ceremony and cultural immersion in the beautiful rainforest of Peru. Afterward, integrate the experience into your real-life with supportive coaching sessions with your facilitators and licensed therapists who have also taken this journey. This is a life-changing experience.
